125 cc – Sachsenring QP2 – Simoncelli and Pasini on the front row

The sudden change in weather conditions that characterized yesterday evening influenced the performance of bikes and riders in the second round of official testing of the 125 class. In fact, almost everyone improved on the references set yesterday in the first round of official testing. Starting from the front row for Aprilia colors will once again be Marco Simoncelli (NoCable Team) and Mattia Pasini (Totti Top Sport), authors, respectively, of the second (1'28"182) and the fourth time (1'28"808 ). Simoncelli was the author of an excellent performance, improving his time from yesterday by 1"067, and came close to pole position by 0"217.

“I'm satisfied – said Marco – we worked well and the results are now there. This morning I wasn't so confident, the bike wasn't at its maximum yet. But during the second round everything worked out for the best. I'm sure it will be a group race, as usual in 125 and for this reason starting from the front tomorrow is already an advantage."

Mattia Pasini is also smiling, even if his best lap was hindered by riders slower than him.

“This time too – said Mattia – I found someone in the middle while I was doing my best lap. Too bad, I'm sure I would have been even further ahead. However, I don't despair, the race is tomorrow and I will be there to play for it. On a track like this, it is unlikely that anyone will be able to break away and break away from the group. I will try to do my race among the leaders to recover from the zero at Donington.”

Furthermore, on the third row there will be Hector Faubel and Sergi Gadea (Master Aspar) together with Lorenzo Zanetti (twelfth) who is emerging after the foot injury at the beginning of the season which affected the performances of the first races of the year.
